“Do you have any idea what this man has done for our community?” Stephen A. Smith says Shaq is beyond philanthropic as he defends Shaq from the recent backlash from people who are mad at Shaq for accepting a commemorative plaque and badge from FBI Director Kash Patel, who... named Shaq an honorary FBI Special Agent, as Stephen A. Smith highlights some of the philanthropic work Shaq has taken part in, including his work with Habitat for Humanity, where Shaq played a significant role in building homes for people without seeking publicity, and his contributions to help Hurricane Katrina victims.

None of that makes you exempt from criticism especially if it’s harmful

once again no one is questioning his track record its his decision to do this and its cuz of his track record is why this has ppl feeling some type of way they expect better awareness from him.

He grins and takes trinkets from protectors of pedophillia and bestiality. Who wants that in their community? Maybe that's the problem. We have evil influences in our community.

Of course a nigga like SAS would be on the wrong side of this conversation. C0ons ride together

Stephen A is another white man's bitch. This is why he supports Shaq.

NOT ACCEPT THE FUCKIN AWARD @stephenasmith tf are you talkin about

I know y'all frat brothers and all but maybe you should watch Afro Samurai and make a pimp decision.

A lot of bad people do stuff that publicly seems good.

Shaq can accept ANY AWARD 🥇 that’s super ok

In 2019, he officially created The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation to secure pathways and resources for underserved youth. Key initiatives include: Shaq-a-Claus: An annual holiday tradition since 1997 that serves cities like Atlanta, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Compton. It has provided tens of thousands of toys, clothing, tech gadgets, and meals to underprivileged kids. Shaq-to-School: A partnership with major brands to provide over $10 million worth of school supplies and backpacks to more than 5,000 Title-1 school kids nationally. Comebaq Courts: Building and restoring community basketball courts and spaces in high-need neighborhoods to give kids a safe environment to play. The Shaquille O'Neal Youth Development Complex: High-impact facilities currently being built in cities like Las Vegas and parts of Texas to offer athletic and academic spaces for youth. School Grants: Committing hundreds of thousands of dollars in direct grants to funding-deprived Title-1 high schools. 🤝 National Board & Nonprofit Roles Boys & Girls Clubs of America: As an alumnus of the club from his childhood in New Jersey, Shaq has served as a passionate national spokesperson and board member for decades. He funded the Shaquille O'Neal Boys & Girls Club in Atlanta. Communities in Schools: He serves on the national Board of Directors for this organization, which works to prevent dropouts and keep at-risk kids in school.

@stephenasmith nobody’s questioning Shaq’s infatuation with law enforcement or his philanthropic achievements. The both of you need to read the room your to quick to come to DJT admin defense and too forgiving of folks you agree with for buffoonery. Your better than that

Lol. Look who's flying in for the rescue. 🤣🤣🤣

Shaq been the police back when he was winning championships with the Lakers back in 2000.

The get along gang

Stfu nobody gives af

i hate stephen a smith with a passion. but he right. i am not canceling shaq over this. he did too much good in teh hood and for black folks. he did not say he supports trump

This nigga speaking on shaq behalf is not helping shaq at all 😆 two 🦝🦝s just doing what they do best.

What’s amazing is that this was a situation the Dems could have exploited. Instead, the Dems got Patel’d.

In lou of those emails, not a good move by Shaq! Based on his response I think this was more of a quid-pro-quo sitation. Shaq does a PR move, take photo, accept award and get Intel on the back end (or something)! This was too sloppy to be what they're saying it is

Trump has SAVED the Black community from being overthrown BY ILLEGALS. There are alot of dumb Americans...alot of dumb Black Americans.. the facts remain they SAVED Black communities from the DemoRats who are still planning on bringing MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS TO REPLACE BLACK VOTES

Finally you say something smart

Yes Stephen A it's about to be over for you too ... don't wanna hear it

Shaw is a great guy. Can’t say a bad word. But Kash Patel is a jock sniffing POS. .

People? It's Blaq Ron, who is far more perceptive than the dipshit in this vid ever could be

I really want to know all the folk in the black community benefitting from “habitat for humanity” 🤣

Coon

FCK SHAQ AND STEPHEN A FOR TAP DANCING FOR BALD PEDO TRUMP

Nobody is implying Shaq commit acts of violence but he certainly doesn't have to accept anything from anyone in this administration.

C00N defending C00N

Ques gonna stick together regardless
